--T4sUOijqQbZv57TR Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey all. I have a strange problem with sendmail and my dhcp lease. What happened is my ISP (AT&T Broadband) renumbered me again day before yesterday, and changed all the nameservers. My dhclient-exit-hooks script didn't fix everything, but I found out why and have fixed it now. What I can't figure out is how to get sendmail to pick up the nameserver change on the fly. I wound up having to kill sendmail from /etc/mail/ using make stop. I then had to ps -ax for the remaining sendmail processes and kill them explicitly. Otherwise I kept getting resolve errors in /var/log/maillog. Is it possible to get sendmail to do this more gracefully from a script? What is the general consensus for calling 'killall -HUP sendmail'? If that is BAD, let me know so I don't do it :). Anyway, I don't think I lost any mail (maybe a couple), but I would like this to be automated so I don't really need to know when I get a change in my dhcp lease.
